Serving halal chicken at New Zealand KFC restaurants could be easier than it sounds.

Thousands of people have joined an online campaign asking Restaurant Brands, which operates KFC here, to sell halal meat.

The company said it trialled halal in 2001 but found it too hard to maintain halal chicken supplies.

But Waqar Ahmed, one of the leaders of the campaign, told Mike Hosking it's now very easy to source.

"Most of the NZ poultry and meat is halal already when it leaves the premises so I think it's not very complicated to start."
